Just a day after I caught my Mrs. Rabbit and one of the squirrels meeting to plan a possible assault on my apple tree, I found Mrs. Rabbit flattened by a car right in front of the house.
It was a gruesome sight. I did not want her body to suffer anymore indignities so I picked her up with a shovel and have disposed of her remains.
While saddened by the death of any animal, I do believe she lead a very active and fruitful life. I also would not put it past the squirrel gang to have lured Mrs. Rabbit into a death trap by possibly encouraging her to cross the road just as one of the many vehicles was barreling down upon her.
